MY PET PEEVES OF THE AIR FORCE

hate when I see overweight people in the Air Force.. wait I take that back. I hate when I see overweight, unfit, and sloppy people in the MILITARY. It gives us such a bad rep(as if we don’t have one already).

I’m not saying I’m the most fit person, but I make sure I look damn good in my uniform. There’s no way I would be able to live with myself if I had a uniform that was so small on me, the buttons were screaming to pop off.

I was at the vehicle registration building today, and saw just that on an MP. Really, if I was a terrorist, I wouldn’t be the least bit scared seeing someone overweight in BDUs, ABUs, ACUs, Digis… etc…

We strive for excellence in all we do, service before self, and have annual fitness tests, but does that really prove we are fit to fight? Being Air Force, we have the most lenient PT test of them all!!! As far as I’m concerned it does no good when people try their hardest on one day out of the entire year just to keep their job, but would run out of breath running away from an insurgent in the desert(RUNNING IN THE SAND IS HARD ENOUGH!!!) in less than 5 minutes.

I know my next pet peeve in the Air Force has nothing to do with fitness, but another thing I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND is when people walk with their hands in their pockets in uniform!!!!!!!!!!!!! ughhhhhh!!!!

I hate hate hate it!!!

I just really hope that as the years go by, and the military being ever changing, they crack down on all the unfit people including the ones who are forever on waivers and profiles all 20 years of their military career….

Fitness is not just a once a year obligation… it could also mean life or death depending on where Uncle Sam sends you next.

Its the same state side too girl, look at most of the police i see like 2 of every 5 which i think could actual catch me in a foot chase. you also have some fire fighters overweight. now if your part of the GP and want to be heavy and out of shape so be it thats your right. but come on cops, FF, military are there to protect so have enough good sense to stay in shape to do your job. just so everyone is clear i think cops, FF, military have some of the hardest jobs out there and i appreciate what they do but when you have a physical restriction that you personally caused (getting Fat) which would prevent you from doing a job that demands physical assertiveness at times, i find it inexcusable.

I'm gonna be starting BMT in December... That's why I'm on here, I wanna try to kick my own ass before the AF does it for me. And I hate hands in the pockets in uniform too. Looks like total crap.

hey hey hey leave the mps alone. im just kidding but thats the reason i got so fat in the first place . Guardidng a wall for 12 hours and someone bringing me a box full of shit thats fucked up for you. Sandwiches snickers, cookies chips ,1 piece of fruit and like 3 carrot sticks. i was so bored i had nothing to do but eat. But thats my own fault. Im a civilian guard now , doing the same thing i did when i was in and making double the money , i know i know, but i still work the same hours, but i pack a " fat boy" coleman lunch box full of shakes, salads almonds and lean meats and tuna. no excuses donut eating cops. Literally people really bring donuts to post lol
